Gary, The Fuzzy Gazetteer website seems to be down. I tried going to it several ways and could not get it to come up. Hopefully, it will be coming back online.

The Fuzzy Gazetteer was a search engine for places. Since the spelling of a place may not be known exactly the website used "fuzzy logic" to come up with a list of names that were similar to the one put into the search form. It also allowed you to narrow the search down to a particular country. When the search was displayed it gave a word or two telling you if the item was a town, river, mountain, etc. It is a very useful website when you are trying to locate a place.
What are you trying to find? The S-R membership may be able to help.
